Computational Intelligence - MSc

Computational intelligence is an exciting area that brings together research in engineering, computing and neuroscience. Recent advances in how the brain works and applications such as biologically inspired robotics have occurred, in large part, due to a greater understanding of computational intelligence as a unified discipline. This course provides the multi-disciplinary knowledge and skills you will need to meet the demand for experts in computational intelligence.
